Activation/License/Language Help / Re: why??
« Last post by TucknDar on July 21, 2008, 06:24 PM »
please provide a little more info, if you require some help. Do you need help entering a key into one of the DonationCoder apps?
527
yes, nitrix has made some amazing aliases!

I'll still look into it. Will learn something along the way :)
528
Both the screensaver and wallpaper stuff should also be possible through alias+command line tools. nircmd can at least enable/disable screensaver and start the default one, while Irfanview can set wallpaper (centered/tiled/stretched).

I'll try to make some alias for these things in a day or two. Just starting to delve into the more advanced alias features, so should be good practice :)
529
Seems to work, but looks overly aggressive at first. Apparently DC is trying all sorts of bad things...

I'll test some more sites tomorrow (it's getting too late for me)..

thanks for the tip

Good advice, indeed.

I feel pretty safe using gmail, but getting your own domain is probably the best solution. And you get to pick your address too :)

Finished Programs / Re: Folder-RSS: Monitor folder changes via rss
« Last post by TucknDar on July 19, 2008, 08:03 AM »
major bump :)

Just had a bit of an annoying "debugging" of this, since the xml insisted on titling feeds things like -maxage:7 and -nosub (commandline parameters I've used). Turned out folder-rss needs specific order of parameters to have both correct title and save to specified xml:
folder-rss.exe "d:\the\dir\to\watch" -maxage:7 -only:folders [-or other parameters] d:\the\output.xml
from about, which didn't work:
folder-rss [-nosub,-only:files|folders|*.ext,+r,+h,+s] <sourcefolder> <destination.xml>
so essentially should be in this order:
folder-rss <sourcefolder> [-nosub,-only:files|folders|*.ext,+r,+h,+s] <destination.xml>

for the .jpg stuff, I normally just rename to folder.jpg anyway, since that's supported by more players, so not a big deal (for me, and let's face it, I'm at the centre of the universe!!!).

Looking forward to the 'alb *' release :Thmbsup:

A minor issue: In the 'Plugins and updates' dialog in options, under the Program Update Checking section, it says "Last Successful Check: [somedate]"

Well, try going offline and click the "Check for Updates Now" button. What happens is that even before the check is made, the date of "Last Successful Check" is changed, even if being offline obviously means the check can't be successful. So technically, the date is referring to the last check, regardless of whether the check was successful or unsuccessful! ;)

Suggestion: Either change the caption to "Last check" and maybe information if it was successful or unsuccessful OR just don't change the date if the check is unsuccessful.

Finally got around to trying this plugin, and I'm really liking it! Is there a way to let me display all albums? like typing "alb *" or something?

Good work!

when providing upgrades, would it be possible to not overwrite custom config-file? Not that I had put a lot of stuff in there yet, but a bit annoying losing custom entries. I suggest two separate config files, one default, which shouldn't be touched and is updated along with the plugin and one custom for user specific stuff .

to TucknDar:
Autohotkey scripting is that all you need! :)
Are you interested in the specific functions?
Actually my reply was more aimed at the link that f0dder provided. So basically I'm much in favour of your WEP project ;) But as has been requested, please also provide downloadable sources. That way I can either change things myself or at least learn a little bit more about AHK. Thanks!

« Last post by TucknDar on July 02, 2008, 02:04 AM »
btw many of the file extensions in the ComdDlg32\OpenSaveMRU key are very useful to me
These would actually already work in 0.1.0, provided your running Windows XP
Yes, I wasn't being clear what I meant, I just wanted to point out that these works fine :)

As for Office2003, here are some entries:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Excel\Recent Files
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\PowerPoint\Recent File List
I couldn't find an entry for Word for some reason, but the one for doc is ok.

Btw I use the SoftMaker Office suite, which stores all settings, including recent files in .ini files like this:
[tmw History]
HistoryFile0=15,D:\firstfile.doc
HistoryFile1=15,D:\afile.doc
HistoryFile2=15,D:\thefile.doc
HistoryFile3=15,D:\someotherfile.doc
I realize that's quite a difference from the way recent files are read now, but would it be possible for FARRMRU to read settings from ini files as well? I've got a couple of other apps (portable) that also stores recent file list in ini format. The user would still have to provide the format that FARRMRU should read, of course. Maybe too much to ask for, but it would certainly be useful (to me, at least :-[ ).

OK, been trying a bit more, and the plugin does work on my end to. I had to change the office MRUs to Office2003, which worked. So part of the problem was right there between my chair and keyboard...

But I thought just typing 'mru' would bring a complete list? Are only files from the "recent folder" shown? I guess I'll have to do without, since it seems the shell replacement I'm using (LiteStep) doesn't use this like explorer.exe. Both +office and +foxit works and I'm sure other similar will work too, though, so I guess I can make an alias to bring the results I'd like most :Thmbsup:

Great plugin!

I should add that I've checked in the registry that there are entries for apps specified in the config, so it's not that there's just no results  :huh:

Love the idea, but can't get it to work.

Typing 'mru' in FARR does nothing, for some reason. I'm using FARR 2.12.03 with XP Home sp2.

I've tried quitting and restarting FARR, but to no avail. Any idea what may be causing this? I'll be happy to provide more info of course!

Their website is here: http://www.paretologic.com/
That would be the proper place to obtain a legal license. The only licenses you can get here at DonationCoder.com are for DonationCoder programs.

Note that googling for this XoftSpy XE product brought up a lot of posts and blogs about it being a rogue product itself and not very effective at what it's supposed to do.

isn't the order just top to bottom in the list of which directories to search? Is there more to it than that? (Except tweaking search depth and scores)
